Additional Zoom Information

1. Large Zoom Sessions – To interact in these sessions, use the CHAT feature, which you will find at the bottom of the Zoom window.  You may also choose the PARTICIPANTS feature, where you will then see an option at the bottom to “Raise Hand.”

2. Update your Name and Profile Photo so you don’t show up with your Onyen.  Both can be handled by clicking the top right corner icon (highlighted below) and select My Profile.  It will take you to a website where you can adjust your photo and the display of your Name, along with other fields.

3. Performance – Try to avoid sharing your video in large meetings just to save on your networking bandwidth, which may improve performance. Also keep in mind that you share the Internet with everyone in your home.  So, if others are watching Netflix, that will hog most of the bandwidth.
